Unable to build on Fedora 30

Unable to build on Fedora 30 due to a missing dependency.

checking for GTKGL... no
configure: error: Package requirements (gtkgl-2.0) were not met:

Package 'gtkgl-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Looks like a dependency that was a part of the gtkglarea package that is no longer found in Fedora 28+.

I get the same error on Artix Linux 1.4. README.md file contains only the information on how to compile on Ubuntu:

Install dependencies (Ubuntu): `sudo apt-get install libgtkgl2.0-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev`

Those packages don't exist on Artix.

I found a gtkglarea2 RPM built with Koji on fedoraproject.org, but it's from 2014 and was made for Fedora EPEL 7. I just tried it anyways (on Fedora 36) and it seems to work. Not sure if it's related, but the performance of the tree visual is pretty bad and the performance of the map visual is not that great either, but that's at least manageable.

If you decide to try to build it anyways, make sure you download and install both gtkglarea2 and gtkglarea2-devel from Koji (or whatever other source you find). Also, be aware that you probably will run into this issue as well. To solve it, make sure you have gettext-devel installed. You'll also get a ton of warnings in the terminal when you go to run fsv if you do not have gtk-murrine-engine installed.

If the RPMs ever disappear, I used Wayback Machine to archive the page for gtkglarea2 and at least the x86_64, aarch64, and src RPMs as well. You can find the archive here:
